Senior Residential Childcare Worker

Do you possess the resilience and heart to transform the lives of vulnerable young people?

If you are an aspiring or experienced practitioner looking for a role where every interaction carries purpose, we want to hear from you. Our client is a leading specialist provider in Scotland, dedicated to supporting young people as they navigate social, emotional, and neurodiverse challenges.

The "Extraordinary" Factor: This is more than a supervisory role. You are the architect of a safe haven. Whether it is a quiet conversation at dinner or celebrating a milestone achievement, you are providing the stability these young people need to flourish.

The Rewards

• Competitive Package: Earn a base salary up to £29,464, with additional sleep-in allowances projected to add over £8,000 to your annual earnings.

• A Warm Welcome: Benefit from an initial joining bonus and a lucrative referral scheme for bringing other talented professionals into the fold.

• Commitment to Growth: Access industry-leading training and specialist qualifications to sharpen your clinical and leadership skills.

• Wellbeing First: Comprehensive 24/7 support networks and hardship grants to ensure you are as cared for as the young people you support.

  Your Influence and Responsibilities

• Lead by Example: Coordinate high-standard, 24-hour care within a nurturing residential environment.

• Holistic Support: Guide young people through daily routines, from educational support to community-based activities, fostering true independence.

• Create Home: Ensure the living environment remains warm, structured, and safe, adhering to the highest National Care Standards.

• Build Trust: Develop deep, professional bonds with service users to help them process trauma and manage complex emotional needs.

• Collaborative Excellence: Work alongside multidisciplinary teams to maintain a proactive and therapeutic atmosphere.

• The Character: You are patient, empathetic, and outcomes-focused. While experience in residential childcare is a significant advantage, we value transferable skills from education, healthcare, or community services.

• The Credentials: You must be willing to undergo an enhanced PVG check. An SVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care is highly desirable, though we offer the training path to achieve this.

• The Commitment: A flexible approach to scheduling, including sleep-ins and weekends, is essential to providing the continuity our young people deserve.
